"See you on the dark side of the moon"

Yuppers, y'all know what's coming next...I wonder if that was his last words. Of course I have to say something about Steve Irwin's Death. I am reading in the news that the general consensus is "shock", but I mean come on..why is everyone so surprised? One had to remember that old saying of if you live by the sword, you die by the sword, so living stupidly usually begets dying stupidly, after all there really is a reason wild animals are called just that...wild, as in they are not pets. We as humans have this ego issue where we feel we can tame everything.
Now of course I am not totally cold blooded, I mean I do feel bad for his family, even though his wife is similar to him, but it's his children I feel bad for, as no one should grow up not knowing their parent, but again I keep being reminded of him holding his infant son while feeding crocs..I mean sheesh for shits sake. This whole scenario reminds me of the following:


It's funny cause it's true :)

*edit* I just read that they administered CPR. Now, I'm no House MD, but if one had a hole in their heart, would that be the proper procedure?

Oh wow, I just read the news.

Richard Pryor has died, and that makes me so unbelievably sad. He was undoubtedly the funniest man since Red Foxx and Lenny Bruce (God rest their smutty souls), and every single comic out there today owes their careers to him. Since fighting multiple sclerosis, I dare say many younger generations have missed out on what he offered (unless they were fortunate to be raised by cool parents...like mine :D)...seriously, any man who can laugh about and work into his act about him catching on fire while freebasing cocaine...you know is just genius. I think the last thing I saw him in was lost highway....

"He was the Charlie Parker of comedy, a master of telling the truth that influenced every comedian that came after him. The legacy that he leaves will forever be with us."

Nice Q, I don't think anyone could have said it better.

Old Dirty Bastard is dead. Well just damn! Oh baby I like it raw *good times good times*

God speed Julia Child. You have been an absolute inspiration too me through out my life. I will miss your on air food fights with Jacque Pernod the most.

No words could ever express this loss.

Johnny Cash
1932-2003

June Carter (Cash) Passed away today. She, in my opinion, was an amazing artist,who, along with her family, contributed to some of this nation's most important music, not only spiritually, but also in a sense of historical preservation. Thank you June, you will truly be missed.



Seriously, I really hope Johnny is ok today.
